I thought it to be true at 6000 dollars and I thought it to be true when we were approaching 5000. Now we are at 3000 and people are saying that it's a good moment to invest but what if it isn't? Are you going to be saying the same thing at 2000, 1000, below 1000?



Most altcoins are worthless but we can't be sure that if they weren't there the money would go to one of the top cryptocurrencies.

I see this opinion repeated like a prayer throughout the forums. You definitely CAN make a living with gambling and many professional poker players are a proof that you are incorrect. Watch a poker tournament from time to time. Many people win a lot of money there and there's almost no risk involved because you pay a small entry fee and don't risk your own money.

If you really want to put money into gambling industry try looking for startups. Maybe in some sites that focus on esports on some new startup rpg games that will use cryptocurrencies as game money?
If you don't care and just want to make money I'd be really looking into coins that are at 80% discount now ilke BTC, ETH, ADA, even LTC will go up when it goes through halving.

It sneaked there for the same reason why stablecoins are on coinmarketcap along with legit cryptocurrencies. Premined and centralized XRP is listed on the same table with USDt that could be made out of thin air and XRP that's nothing more than a token created by a greedy company that's keeping a lot of it for themselves in case stupid speculators pump it to 1 dollar at which point Garlinghouse and his friends would compete with Bezos and Gates on the list of the richest people in the world.

They don't see it this way. To them it's only a burden. It's a technology that nobody controls and nobody will be responsible if something goes wrong. The only people responsible will be the SEC because they would be the ones who accepted it and thought it to be safe. There's no Satoshi to blame and when people lose money they look for scapegoats. Heads have to be rolling to satisfy the mob.

Anybody can make a shitcoin that will be much faster than Bitcoin and not use as much energy. We already have coins that have that advantage and they aren't getting more popular than Bitcoin. Most of those new coins is dying in their first year. Litecoin can process 6 or 7 times more transactions per second than Bitcoin but I don't see it overtaking Bitcoin anytime soon.

The fees on coinbase aren't low. I was shocked to see how much they're charging per transaction. It can be ignored when you're simply buying to hold or selling to get out but if you're trading small amounts it's hard to make a profit on Coinbase with their $3 fee per conversion.
There is a theory that Bitcoin companies will keep growing until they eliminate competition and become giants that will destroy any signs of decentralization and free market just like Bitmain would do in mining if they continued with BTC instead of Bcash.

There were many similar threads in this section you might want to look for them.
To me trading volatile markets and shitcoins is the same as gambling. In traditional markets you can do some TA because these markets work much slower and are less influenced by FUD. Trading cryptocurrencies is very hard and the volatility is very high. If you use leverage you are going to lose it all sooner or later.

Most bounty hunters are too greedy and they fall prey to scammers. Go to any thread with bounties and you'll see scammers on top of scammers. On one side you have people using bought accounts to start bounty campaigns with no escrow and on the other you have bought and farmed accounts spamming the threads to get a few dollars worth of some new shitcoin. Nobody is going to help you fight for your rights!

There's a chance Satoshi could be dead. There were hurricanes and tsunamis in Asia in the year when he disappeared and many people disappeared and their bodies were never found. Even if he is alive and hiding it's good for him. He could become a target of extortions and blackmails if he suddenly came out and proved to be the founder.

Not to me. At the moment less than 5% people own or owned a cryptocurrency. If we were able to reach 5% worldwide adoption for Bitcoin alone it would make it so valuable and so stable that not many fiat currencies would be able to compete. The world still isn't ready for it though and Bitcoin also isn't ready because it can't process as many transactions.

Is this article shilling for ripple? I don't understand why among all the coins compared there's no Bitcoin but there are shitcoins like XRP and BCH and the title suggests that we are comparing the number of women in cryptocurrencies. Why would you ignore the most popular one and talk about a token that isn't even a cryptocurrency?

I don't find it strange that there's not a lot of women in crypto. There's also much less female mechanics, much less female soldiers, much less female hackers. And it doesn't mean they are worse at it because one of the best hackers in the world was a woman! They somehow aren't drawn to some aspects of life just like men aren't drawn as much to dancing and teaching young children. Go to any primary school and the vast majority of teachers will be female.

It's a funny question because the world has been evolving for centuries leaving some people ages behind. In the colonial era people in Africa were mostly hunting with spears and running half naked and the Europeans had warships, guns, brick houses with bathrooms, and many other things. 200 years later those villagers in Africa were still running half naked hunting in the jungle and the rest of the world had cars, aeroplanes, nuclear reactors. People get left behind. Deal with it.

I don't use tether at all and I don't trust it. Tether is centralized and as long as they are auditing themselves I will not use them or trust in their promises. If they wanted to be transparent they would do it so you should ask yourself why aren't they? Maybe because they know that greedy idiots will keep coming and will be using their stablecoin because it's the most popular.

In 2016 we were in a bear market and there were no institutional investors to bail us out and we recovered and went above the 2013 ATH. If this were to repeat we would have to break 20000 again by the end of the year. And we don't even need this much to call it a bull market once again. If we break 6000 it will already be a bull market. Is that so hard to do without institutions? Not in my book.

You are right. Some new projects will have their bull runs and some old projects will have to die. I just don't see all the current top 20 coins keeping their positions by the end of the year. The first ones to go will probably be SV and BCH. I wouldn't touch that those with a stick. At the same time there's this Grin that could be worth looking into.

What jobs will disappear? I guess the most unwanted ones. If we are to support decentralization then all the people responsible for managing debt and printing money will be the first to go.
The new industry will need people who are both bankers and coders at the same time because there will have to be a transitional period where old folks learn blockchain banking.

It's always better to choose Bitcoin. ETH is great if you compare it to other altcoins but it also has its own problems and in the short term it will always depend on Bitcoin.
This means that if Bitcoin goes down hard ETH will also go down hard. In the long term ETH can have a bull run independent of Bitcoin but for now it's like glued to it along with other altcoins. The safer choice is Bitcoin.

It's only past its half. We still have almost 2 weeks left. How can you say that it's almost over?
With the fork delayed and possible vulnerabilities i'm not seeing it past 150 dollars in the near future. The only thing that could push it up earlier is a Bitcoin pump.

Works for me. Looks like it was a temporary problem.


This word is slowly becoming my personal favourite. There's even a definition!

I see nothing wrong in this. Darknet is a part of the Internet like crime is a part of our lives whether we like it or not. There will always be crime, hacks, porn, drugs. There's much more crime being done with the use of traditional markets and fiat money than it is in the Internet.
